Project Summary

Requirement:
Provide support services to Headquarters Installation Management Command (HQ IMCOM) in support of the Veteran’s Opportunity to Work (V.O.W.) Program. The support services consist of the development, integration, and evaluation of an Education training workshop, Technical training workshop, and Entrepreneurship training workshop into the transition process and the implementation of a “Military Life Cycle” transition model to prepare Soldiers for the transition over the entire the span of their military service/career.

Provide modernized management support services that consist of monitoring, reporting, data collection, and analysis of the IMCOM Transition program and providing strategy options to the global program manager for decision making. Provide evaluation and quality assurance reviews of products to the G1/Human Resources Directorate.

Solution:
Our experts developed a strategy-focused approach which consisted of an expansion strategy (supported by on-demand subject matter experts (SMEs)) to execute enterprise activities (Strategic Transition to 2020 Operations and Studies, Analysis, & Evaluation Support) and a production strategy (supported by onsite SMEs) to execute day-to-day operations activities (Current Operations and Support Implementing the VOW Act).

Results & Impacts
Genesis Concepts & Consultants conducted an initial Strengths, Challenges, Opportunities, and Threats analysis to establish our Program Management Playbook to transition from the current-state model to a sustainable future-state model. The transformation activities to fuel this analysis included a manpower study that addressed the operational impacts of a pending 25+% manpower reduction; research and propose new position description for modified and future labor categories; assess the need for future technology integration to augment reduced workforce; and conduct policy reviews with proposed updates for future governance considerations.

Our team of experts completed 100% of assigned tasks in support of the manpower study with a 100% accuracy and timeliness rating.
